The L.A. Derby Dolls are Los Angeles' original women's quad-skate roller derby league. Yes, action fans, you heard it right -- roller derby!

According to fellow Yelpers...

Punk Rock Meets Roller Skates...

Enter a world mixture of hipsters and rockabillies, Hollywood professionals and counter-culturalists... all congregated to witness 4 quarters of smash mouth, body-checking artistry in motion.

Welcome to this amalgamation of Hillbilly rock and grace that will be headlined by this evening's showdown between the SanDiego Sparky's and defending champion LA Derby Dolls. Witness the flashing speed of Mila Minute's scoring wizardry to the bone-crunching knockdowns of amazonian queen Krissy Krash, the action never wanes. The crowd roars in approval when the evening's hardest hit sends veteran Iron Maven flying like a tossed midget, over the rink's upper bank.

Heed the advice of your fellow Yelpers and purchase VIP tickets a few days in advance. The procrastinator becomes a standing observer, craning the neck with the rest of general admission.

Crazy Music and Cheap Beer abounds...

If time and hunger permit after the battle royale.. We grab some Filipino food at the Aristocrat
